Lovely Valley Lodge

A well appointed room with everything that you would need for an overnight stay. The breakfast was delicious and the staff were very friendly. The pool and gardens looked great. The only downside was the noise from a cistern that seemed to run all night and then the early morning traffic noise, but I would recommend.
